We have worked with Michelin, Vorwerk, Bruss, Gotec, huge global companies that based their production on vulcanization and injection moulding. We can easily extract contrast from darkest, light absorbing material that automotive deals with - rubber.
The only part of the car that sticks to the ground requires extremely thorough quality checks. In one of the early stages of the production process our cameras check each and every place of material joints to find flaws.
With use of 6k linescan camera our solution guarantees there are no holes or faults bigger than 0,1 mm in the material. Inspection is conducted on the fly, therefore machine cycle time was not impacted at all by the implementation of our system. Speed of analyzed material rises up to 200meters per minute, however thanks to encoder based scanning the camera automatically adapts to velocity variations. Vision system immediately stops the conveyor in case defect is detected allowing human operator to fix the error on the spot.
The camshaft seal in a car is exposed to extreme conditions – for starters enormous pressure followed by large temperature differences. This small element is in fact crucial for the correct operation of the entire system, and its damage may result in a very costly repair.
Most critical injection moulding defects are being detected by pressure tests. However, shrinkage or overflow flaws have usually very insignificant or even none influence on the outcome of those. At the same time even as small as 0,1 mm imperfection can have huge negative impact on the gasket's service life. Brands that really care about quality of their vehicles won't accept it. The only way to identify such mistakes is visual, making vision system the only tool equal to the task. With use of collimated backlight and a low distortion macro lens our systems measure and compare each dimension of the gasket eliminating all shortcomings.
Dashboard is a part of the car that the user looks at all the time. Therefore car manufacturers pay very close attention to its design and especially, quality.
Our system verifies the correct sequence of lighting LEDs, checks whether symbols on the display are complete and well cut. We perform HSL analysis of all the colors and send the values to the PLC, which as a result can tune the PWMs used by the display and adjust it correctly to the limits. Vision system makes sure the LEDs are off when they’re ought to be and verifies whether the display itself is glued correctly to the product body. It automatically distinguishes between two manufactured screen types – gloss and mat.
